Download or read book Yukon s Hunting History written by Manfred Hoefs and published by . This book was released on 2017-06 with total page 571 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This historic review reveals that hunting has been important in this Territory ever since it was first colonized by early humans some 14 000 years ago. In the early days it was a matter of survival not only for aboriginal people but later on also for white immigrants. The availability of wildlife for food allowed such activities as prospecting, mining, surveying, over-wintering by whalers or trail constructions to take place, which would otherwise not have been possible, or only at a much slower pace, relying on the import of food from outside sources. In their respective developments no other jurisdiction in Canada has faced comparable events such as the Gold Rush, when the Dawson population jumped from about 500 to 30 000 in a matter of two years and food had to be procured for them; the overwintering of Whale-ships necessitating the feeding of 1500 to 2000 people with game meat, and the constructions of the Alaska Highway, when numerous American soldiers were given the same hunting rights as Yukon residents. But Yukon's wildlife recovered from these set-backs and currently probably has a similar distribution and abundance as it did in early historic times. But new challenges are on the horizon. Climate change will effect habitat. Some wildlife species will benefit from it, others will be negatively impacted. New diseases and parasites will find the altered environment suitable for their existence. The ever- improving technology will make hunters better equipped and more effective in killing game. Let us hope that these various potential problems can be managed and that current and future generations can continue to enjoy Yukon's magnificent wilderness and wildlife."--

Download or read book Voices from the Mackenzies written by Paul Deuling and published by FriesenPress. This book was released on 2017-12-15 with total page 427 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Re-live the experiences of the people who traveled to the distant and untouched Mackenzie Mountains of Canada’s Northwest Territories. This raw, beautiful land was opened to outfitting in 1965, when intrepid entrepreneurs carried out exploratory hunts by horse and backpack to determine whether the Mackenzies were worth an outfitting investment. Five men initially set out to build their businesses in this remote country, making a living through a lot of hard work and a little bit of luck. Guides, cooks and wranglers contributed to their success in the hunt for Dall sheep, grizzly bears, mountain caribou, mountain goats and moose. Their stories are filled with tales of animal encounters, tragedy and humour. Today, eight outfitters operate in the Mackenzie Mountains as the area remains as remote and beautiful as when the original five outfitters trekked into the area in the 1960’s. I hope you enjoy reading Voices From the Mackenzies as much as I enjoyed writing about the folks who made their living in this beautiful country.
Download or read book Land of the Midnight Sun written by Ken Coates and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2005-03-21 with total page 377 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the Klondike Gold Rush is one of the most widely known events in Canadian history, particularly outside Canada, the rest of the Yukon's long and diverse history attracts little attention. Important developments such as Herschel Island whaling, pre-1900 fur trading, the post-World War II resource boom, a lengthy struggle for responsible government, and the emergence of Aboriginal political protest remain poorly understood. Placing well-known historical episodes within the broader sweep of the past, Land of the Midnight Sun gives particular emphasis to the role of First Nations people and the lengthy struggle of Yukoners to find their place within Confederation. This broader story incorporates the introduction of mammoth dredges that scoured the Klondike creeks, the impressive Elsa-Keno Hill silver mines, the impact of residential schools on Aboriginal children, the devastation caused by the sinking of the Princess Sophia, the Yukon's remarkable contributions to the national World War I effort, and the sweeping transformations associated with the American occupation during World War II. Completely revised with a new epilogue, the bestselling Land of the Midnight Sun was first published in 1988 and became the standard source for understanding the history of the Yukon. Ken Coates and William Morrison have published ten books together, including Strange Things Done: A History of Murder in the Yukon and the forthcoming Trailmarkers: A History of Landmark Aboriginal Rights Cases in Canada. Land of the Midnight Sun was their first collaboration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wilderness of the Upper Yukon: A Hunter's Explorations for Wild Sheep in Mountains This book is a record of my field experiences while engaged in studying the color variations of the wild sheep of Yukon Territory. It is an attempt to give a detailed account strictly from the point of view of a hunter interested in natural history. Most parts of the Territory which are inhabited by sheep are also the favorite abodes of moose and grizzly bears, and some of them of caribou. The black bear inhabits the forests everywhere below timber-line; the white goat lives exclusively in the humid belt of the Coast ranges. No other game animals exist in the Yukon wilderness. Most of the fur-bearing animals of the Hudsonian zone are abundant on the timbered slopes immediately below the sheep ranges. The number of species of mammals and birds is small. In the North, wild sheep dwell exclusively on high mountains, above timber-line, usually well back within the ranges. Nearly all of the mountains on which I hunted, with the exception of Plateau Mountain and those near Watson River, were untrodden by the foot of white man or Indian. The wilderness was primeval, the sheep practically undisturbed, the other game animals seldom hunted. It was not possible to find guides, for there were none. It was necessary not only to search out a route to the mountains, but also to find the ranges occupied by sheep. I have, therefore, adopted the subtitle, "A Hunter's Explorations for Wild Sheep in Sub-Arctic Mountains."
